L-Theanine 200 mg, 60 capsules

Natural L-theanine from green tea

L-theanine is a free amino acid that does not fall into the categories of essential or non-essential amino acids and is not integrated into the body's protein. Theanine, also known as γ-glutamylethylamide or 5-N-ethylglutamine, is similar to glutamine but has unique properties. It is found almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and is one of the factors that give tea its flavour.

Many food supplements containing L-theanine that are available use a synthetically produced variant in which the molecule has been industrially reproduced. However, synthetic forms of L-theanine are not officially authorised on the European market. Although it is feasible to extract L-theanine from natural sources, the difficulty lies in achieving high purity and concentration. Tea leaves, the only natural source of L-theanine, also contain a small amount of caffeine, which is often also found in the extract. For people who are sensitive to caffeine, it is not possible to take such an L-theanine supplement before going to bed - this can be seen as a disadvantage.

L-theanine from Vitals: high-dose, pure and without caffeine

Vitals has found a producer who has been able to overcome these difficulties. The product L-Theanine from Vitals offers a high-dose, very pure and concentrated form of natural L-theanine from green tea, with 200 mg per capsule. A major advantage is that it is sufficient to take one to two capsules a day. The product is also caffeine-free and contains no epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a phytonutrient from green tea for which there is a legal limit. To summarise, Vitals L-Theanine 200 mg is the perfect L-Theanine supplement in every respect!
